Dr. Bill Thomas is an international authority on longevity and eldercare and founder of the Eden Alternative and Green House Project. He is a visionary leader in the online Changing Aging movement and a world-renowned authority on geriatric medicine and eldercare. Dr. Thomas is founder of two movements to reshape long-term care globally – The Eden Alternative and the Green House Project. The Eden Alternative philosophy put forward a radical critique of long-term care and offered a creative way to “change the culture” of nursing homes by bringing growth and laughter into the lives of elders. Now a global non-profit, the Eden Alternative has affiliates in Japan, Australia, Scandinavia, Europe, Canada, the United Kingdom and all 50 states. Bill continues to serve as president.  More information is the following websites.
